Pilates Reformer Foot and Ankle Strength And Mobility with Wendi Carroll Our feet and ankles have a thankless task. We walk and stand on them all day, but how much attention do we pay to their wellbeing? In this video Wendi uses the reformer footwork series to showcase how important the lower limbs are for overall healthy movement. Often this is the first sequence you’ll do in a class, so it’s the perfect time to focus on Pilates principles of breathing, concentration and core control. It’s time to spoil your feet…enjoy! Trap Dance with Nathan Short Put away your steel-capped shoes, there’s an ‘r’ in there. Trap is a cutting edge electronic dance music style that although not currently well known soon will be. You know a track is trap when it features a quirky ‘drop’ with a lot of hollow space left where vocals and synths would normally be. Choreographing dance to trap music requires a more grounded approach with a focus on isolation and strength, with a few hip rolls thrown in for good measure! NETWORK AUTUMN 2015 | 31
